Tensions run high over doggy zones

BARCO president Geraldine Lockyer and her companion dog ‘Bono’, pictured, say she won’t be apologising for wanting dogs to be safe from baits and having reasonable use of the beach. A heated exchange erupted at a public meeting between Ms Lockyer and a National Parks and Wildlife Service representative in Ocean Shores on Monday night. Full story on page 2.

Excited, nervous and tired were the emotions expressed by new Director Candida Baker on the eve of this year’s Byron Bay Writers’ Festival. The official opening attracted around 200 people, a mix of writers, publishers, locals and visitors poised to participate in what is considered the biggest regional writers’ festival in the country. Chairman of the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre, Chris Hanley, said that there were probably more people attending this year than there had ever been before. The evening was officially opened by journalist Mick O’Regan. Indigenous actor/writer Rhoda Roberts, who grew up in Lismore, then endeared herself to the crowd by welcoming everyone to country before going on to say that, ‘Welcome To Country [ceremonies] have got a bit out of hand lately, I think. You don’t have to do it every time you get up to speak – it gets a bit tokenistic.’ A first for the Festival was also the awarding of a sculpture prize. Judged by Betty Churcher, the first prize of $8000 went to Daniel Clemmett and was announced by festival

curator Dev Lengjel. Drinks and canapes were suspended as vice-chancellor of Southern Cross University, Professor Peter Lee, said festivals such as this one made Byron Bay the place it was, before introducing festival highlight Louis de Bernières. Having been warned by Ms Baker that at a previous opening night the keynote speaker had spoken for nearly two hours, Mr de Bernières kept it very short. ‘I suggested to Candida that holding a writers’ festival must be like keeping kittens in a box,’ he said, ‘but she said it was more like herding cows.’ He said that writing his latest book The Red Dog was ‘the best fun in my life.’ According to the Dendy’s Rose Fox, tickets to the film based on that book had sold out completely. The red dog itself was somewhere in the audience, punctuating the speeches with occasional barks. Locals Peter and Victoria Thompson told The Echo that they had been coming to the Writers’ Festival from the very beginning. ‘I think there’s a very real sense of community and camaraderie,’ said Peter. ‘It’s remarkably successful and it’s something Byron should be proud of.’

As council prepares to decide on restricting beach access for Byron Shire dogs, Cr Patrick Morrisey is demanding a public apology from Geraldine Lockyer, dog owner and president of Brunswick Area Responsible Canine Owners (BARCO). Cr Morrisey is referring to what he believes to be a threat towards NPWS Ranger Lori Cameron by Ms Lockyer at a meeting of dog owners, Bird Buddies and NPWS. ‘BARCO President needs to publicly apologise for inciting hostility and threatening an NPWS Ranger at a public meeting of dog owners in Ocean Shores on Monday night,’ said Cr Morrisey. ‘I’m concerned at the example being set by the BARCO President, that it’s fair game to threaten Rangers for doing their job.

Flippant remark In response, National Parks told The Echo that Lori Cameron and several members of BARCO did have an ‘amicable discussion. ‘NPWS does maintain a conciliatory manner when discussing all issues, no matter how contentious. If anyone found any comments by the NPWS ranger offensive this was not the intention.’ Ms Lockyer told The Echo Cr Morrisey has taken her comment out of context and the

apology should be going the other way. Ms Lockyer said that if there was any apology, it should come from Ms Cameron. ‘There were a lot of people upset with her because she had said that if there was no beach for the community to walk on, they could all go and walk in Bi-Lo. As far as I am concerned the community here should be asking for an apology. It was very disappointing hearing her come up with that.’ Another issue that arose at the meeting was the laying of poison in the nature reserve. ‘There is 1080 poison in the nature reserve – I accept that,’ she said. ‘We appreciate why it is there and keep our dogs out of the dunes. The only concern I have is that if it is not picked up properly when they are finished. Ms Cameron has assured us it will be collected properly, but there is always the

possibility of an error. ‘That is why I made a flippant remark about suing national Parks if my dog died of 1080 poisoning. It was an off-hand comment [and] hardly a threat.’ Ms Lockyer said that as far as she was concerned it was a really good meeting. ‘Members from BARCO and Bird Buddies sat down with Lori Cameron afterwards,’ she said. ‘We discussed the situation and we all got on very well and she certainly didn’t have a problem with what I had said about the 1080.’ Ms Lockyer added the proposed 700 metres is too short and restricts the dog owners and dogs too much. ‘It is important that dogs have a long run in an off-leash area. They need the space.’ Council will decided the shortening of beach access at this Thursday’s council meeting. Public access is from 9am.

but in order to try to stop it I had to go to follow a process through to the very end. ‘The current system erodes confidence further and is not geared for support. I can say that because I have experienced it. ‘I can see why people don’t stand up and speak out. The WorkCover process is invasive and very uncomfortable because of the system currently in place. The people working with the system are individually supportive but they are bound by a system that isn’t fair. It doesn’t look after the victim. ‘My WorkCover claim was rigorously investigated and the outcome was that it was deemed that bullying did occur. The result ant medical report was quite clear and I felt a sense of support

Council has put staff through code-of-conduct training, but I am left without a job and dealing with the the emotional and financial impact that has on me and my family. ‘This experience has driven me to the edge and it’s a scary place to be. There is simply no place for bullying in a professional workplace, indeed, no place for it anywhere.’ ‘There are some truly fantastic people who work in Council, she added, ‘and the conduct I experienced does not seem to exist in every department.’Â

Acting GM responds Byron Shire Council’s acting general manager Phil Warner said Council can not comment on individual staff matters. Despite ‘strongly’ disputing the content of the allega-

tions and the claims made against Council, Mr Warner provided no comment against Ms Mitchell’s claims. He said, ‘With every workplace matter, Council’s priority is always to get the staff member back to full duties as quickly as possible.’ He added Council has a proactive bullying and harassment prevention program including awareness training, intervention, and internal and external supportive services. WorkCover also told The Echo they are ‘aware of an investigation by Byron Shire Council in response to Ms Mitchell’s claim.’ Those experiencing bullying can visit www.bullying. com.au/workplace-bullying or www.schoolbullies.org.au/ Q See editorial page 10

New environmental zoning raises concerns Ray Moynihan

Landholders in the Byron Shire are raising concerns that proposed new environment zones will restrict farming activities on their land, potentially reducing incomes and raising costs. Large tracts of local land currently zoned as rural will be rezoned for environmental protection, in a new Local Environment Plan expected to go on public display in coming weeks. ‘Things are going to be really contentious here,’ says Byron Shire Councillor Basil Cameron, ‘because a lot of current rural zoning will become environmental zoning, and that will constrain the existing rights of land owners.’ Much of the concern is focused on the new E2 and E3 zonings, which will not affect current uses of land, but may have big impacts on what people will be allowed to do in the future. Farmers whose land will be

rezoned to E3 may, for example, have to seek development approval to change use from running cattle to planting crops. For those whose farm land is rezoned as E2, restrictions will be much tighter, potentially banning any changes to current land use.

Agricultural land at risk: Cr Cameron While he supports the need to protect biodiversity and conserve important habitat for wildlife, Cr Cameron is concerned that valuable land for growing food may be lost from the system, and that ‘rural ghettos’ of poor farmers could result. ‘I think the E2 zone may be counterproductive in the long run, because it doesn’t take account of humans in the system’ he said. A Goonengerry landholder and agricultural scientist John Hellmers says there are also

Highlighting the absurdities of nuclear

important concerns about the accuracy of aerial mapping, which has been used as a basis for much of the re-zoning. He argues there should be a comprehensive process of ‘ground-truthing’ – where authorities walk around affected properties – and much more consultation, before the new zones are formally released for public feedback. Otherwise there’ll be ‘a lot of objections and a lot of angst,’ says Mr Hellmers, who was part of a community consultation group set up by Council. The ground rules for the Local Environment Plan and its new zonings are set by the state government, and local councils, including Byron, have been working hard for many years to define exactly which bits of rural land should be rezoned within the new E-zones. Mayor Jan Barham argues there has already been ‘significant ground-truthing’, and that it’s time for the planned changes

to go out for public exhibition. She says the claims that large amounts of rural land will be lost to agricultural activity does not take into account the fact that much rural land in the Shire is already subject to some form of environmental protection. Asked if the changes would hurt some small landholders, Ms Barham argued the new environment zonings could ‘enhance the value of what farmers are producing’, as consumers increasingly sought food produced via sustainable practices. The National party member for Lismore, Thomas George says Byron landholders in his electorate have expressed ‘major concerns’ about the new environmental zones. When the Local Environment Plan is finally released for public feedback, he urged everyone to make their own personal inquires about how their land would be affected, as ‘no comment indicates acceptance.’

It wasn’t a good week for uranium stocks, as Minister for North Coast, Don Page, confirmed that the NSW Government would continue the ban on uranium exploration and mining in NSW. This is despite a federal government request to lift the ban. Also keeping up the awareness of the continuing Japanese nuclear meltdown were several hundred people, who rallied in Byron Bay’s Railway Park against the industry.

Local News Woolworths ‘thanks’ Coorabell school children with apples ‘Earn and Learn’ program aimed at schools and children that earn points by shopping at the supermarket Victoria Cosford

A ‘Woolworths’ apple handed out to Coorabell Public School students has forced the corporation to explain its motives. A father of a child at the school wrote to the school’s principal in the hope of clarification, and also contacted The Echo. His concern was with the ethics of allowing the corporate giant in public schools, its influence on ‘innocent children’, and the follow on effect on how their parents shop. Since 2002 the NSW Farmers Association has been running a program called AppleQuest, whose aim is to distribute apples into NSW primary schools in a bid to promote the benefits of healthy eating. Woolworths is the major supportor of the program, with

the nearest Woolworths store to each registered school the supplier of apples. However, according to Communications Advisor for the Association Caitlin Furlong, the AppleQuest program for this year does not start until October, ‘so the apple program at Coorabell is not affiliated with NSW Farmers.’ She confirmed that the apples used in the program are donated by their apple grower members. ‘Woolworths assists with the distribution around the state,’ she told The Echo. When The Echo contacted the Department of Education and Communities (DEC), spokesperson for the media unit, Sven Wright, confirmed that it was aware of the AppleQuest initiative, but that it has no ‘systemic arrangement’ with the program, which is ad-

ministered at a local level. ‘No NSW government schools endorse any commercial products or services,’ he said. ‘Schools source canteen foods from a variety of safe sources – if parents are concerned about a particular source they should speak to the principal.’ He also confirmed that the DEC was ‘only aware of one current complaint, at Coorabell Public School.’

Calls not returned Calls by The Echo to Coorabell Public School were not returned but were directed instead to Mr Wright at DEC, who verified that the school had received apples which appeared to be ‘simply a donation of apples from Woolworths.’ However, according to a media spokesperson for Wool-

worths, Sioban Quinn, ‘The apples were brought along to the school as a thank you/gesture for the kids and teachers time, as our store manager spoke to them about Woolworth’s Earn and Learn program.’ The program, Woolworths biggest-ever community kids’ program, will see schools and children around the country ‘benefit from up to $5 million worth of educational resources by earning points through shopping at the supermarket,’ according to a recent Woolworths media release. Ms Quinn confirmed that permission had been sought from the school. Two other local public schools contacted by The Echo – Byron Public and Mullumbimby Public – said that they had not received apples so far this year.

New underground power cabling

Sunrise pub gets nod from Council staff

Essential Energy will install a new high-voltage cable between two sections of its power network at Byron Bay, in an effort to improve reliability for households and businesses in the area. Work on the underground ‘tie line’ between Old Bangalow Road and Cooper Street will begin August 8, says the company, and should be completed midSeptember, weather permitting.

Council will consider a DA (development application) for a new pub in Sunrise at Thursday’s general meeting. The controversial pub and drive-in liquor shop – which is in close proximity to residents – has been recommend for approval by Council staff. The proposal is being put forward by the North Beach owners (formally the Becton site), under a different title.

www.echo.net.au

Essential Energy’s regional general manager Far North Coast, Richard Wake, said traffic control would be in place and no planned interruptions to power would be necessary. ‘The new cable will strengthen the network and allow us to provide better back-up power options when maintenance is necessary or there is an unplanned interruption,’ Mr Wake said.

North Beach is associated with mining magnate Brian Flannery, as featured in The Echo on November 30, 2010. The report may be viewed in the agenda of the meeting – copies are available on Council’s website. To address Council in public access (from 9am), ring 6626 7000 or email public.access@ byron.nsw.gov.au by 12pm on Wednesday August 10.

A shared pathway/cycleway being built along the foreshore of Lennox Point has residents upset. Don Munro from the Nat i on a l Su r f i n g R e serve says most residents expected wooden pathways, which they say is keeping with a wooden fence which has been on the adjoining boardwalk for many years. However, according to Ballina Shire Council’s Paul Busmanis, Ballina Council decided that concrete was the preferred option for the path as it is the most durable and smooth, allowing for all types of users. The miscommunication may stem from the pathway’s original proposal, which left the door open to interpretation. Mr Munro told The Echo, ‘Council asked, “Do you want a shared pathway?” To which everyone said “yes”.’ There are claims it is ugly, and not in keeping with the environment, and the situation has

Regulation rebutted ‘There are other examples of shared pathways in Ballina close to the water’s edge which do not have safety rails or handrails,’ says Jane Leete, a member of the Residents Association. ‘The handrail is a safety measure,’ explained Mr Busmanis, ‘as the path is on the

Residents have sent letters to Council staff and councillors asking for a change to the handrail and not to proceed with the extra 270 metres already in the design. There has been a suggestion of massive media coverage if the locals are not listened to by Council and some residents have already placed signs on the walkway.

Sonya spoke about ways local communities around Australia and overseas have selforganised at the grass-roots level to create more sustainable solutions for their communities amid a future of peak oil and climate change. Sonya says that the key point for Transitioning to a Sustainable Community is a sound understanding of permaculture ethics and principles. She says these will provide the framework for moving a community to increased local resilience. They can also be applied to an individual’s home,

street, or an entire region. ‘Work on first understanding where your community’s challenges and opportunities are in the context of transitioning to a local resilience,’ she says. ‘Identify weaknesses and gaps and work on those first. ‘Pick short-term, mid-and long-term projects. Work on what is relevant in your community. Don’t take your own agenda or ego into it’. Sonya spoke to those gathered about creating an Energy Descent Action Plan (EDAP). ‘An EDAP is an important part of transitioning your community,’ she said. ‘It provides a structured plan for energy descent with timelines, actions and in some cases budgets. Rob Hopkins and a group of students undertaking a two-year permaculture course in Kinsale Ireland first came

up with the concept. They presented the finished document (which is freely available online – just Google Kinsale EDAP) to their local council who endorsed it making Kinsale the world’s first Transition Town. To those who get disheartened they see multinational companies and other countries wasting the planet’s resources, Ms Wallace says that the beauty of Transition Towns is that they focus on the positive. ‘I’ve been involved in this since 2006 and I’ve been kept busy all that time with people wanting to take positive action and start to make changes in their lives. ‘There are a lot of people interested in creating the future they do want, rather than fighting against what they don’t want.’ After the seminar Ms Wallace said that at times,

a lot of people feel disempowered and disabled. ‘We’ve all given a lot of decision-making power over to others. One of the things I love about Transition Towns is when people realise that they can do it. All they need is concern about what’s happening in the world, and a desire to start doing something about it. ‘There has been a real boom in interest in backyard veggie growing, cheese making, jam making, sewing. A lot of people are starting to re-learn these skills and use them to save money and reduce their impact. ‘There is a lot of greenwash out there too – being “sustainable” isn’t about changing one form of consumerism for another. Living more sustainably is about economics as much as it is the environment. You can live better on less.’

Become a nurse and make a world of difference. SC1597_7

Nursing is a career like no other. It can take you anywhere - from international aid organisations to remote outback clinics or large metropolitan hospitals. Globally major change is occurring in health care and nursing is the centrepiece to this change. This means demand for graduates remains high while government scholarships and excellent overseas opportunities make nursing an attractive career choice. If you want to start a career that makes a difference or seek new qualifications, consider Southern Cross University.

Message trickles through on CSG dangers Story & photo Eve Jeffery

The issue of coal-seam gas (CSG) mining and its extraction method – fracking – is fast becoming the frontrunner in both health and environmental concerns, as well as a nasty wake-up call in civil rights. The breaching of aquifers and subsequent poisoning of groundwater is a terrifying and real threat. A NSW General Purpose Standing Committee has unanimously agreed to a parliamentary inquiry into coal-seam gas, and report on the environmental, economic and social impacts of coal-seam gas activities. The broad terms of reference of this inquiry mean it will be the most comprehensive parliamentary inquiry into coalseam gas in Australia.

President of the Northern Rivers Guardians, Scott Sledge, says that anti-CSG groups are mobilising for a community demonstration across NSW on October 16.

The Conservation Council of New South Wales CEO Pepe Clarke says that by the coalseam gas industry’s own admission, extraction will ‘inevitably’ affect aquifers, and this information warrants urgent action

from the NSW government. ‘The Council is calling for an immediate moratorium on coal-seam gas extraction in NSW until a comprehensive environmental strategy can be developed with input from the

community, farmers and the best independent science. Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham welcomed the inquiry. ‘The coal-seam gas industry does not have a social licence to operate in NSW,’ he said. ‘This inquiry is essentially about whether it should be granted a social licence. ‘I am very pleased to have bipartisan support for what will be the most comprehensive inquiry to be conducted into all issues relating to the coal-seam gas industry’. Mr Buckingham says this inquiry will provide a forum for the hundreds of community groups and experts concerned about the coal-seam gas industry to put these concerns to parliamentarians.

Federal community gets ‘first option’ on its church Victoria Cosford

Saving the Federal church is about so much more than just buying a piece of real estate. This was one of the messages that came out of the latest meeting by residents. About 80 turned up, all offering unanimous support for the purchase of the church and, according to spokesperson Rhonda Ansiewicz, ‘not baulk-

ing at the prospect of raising the money for it.’ The Federal community has been given first option to buy the historic church by Bangalow Parish Council following the announcement in June that the Anglican parish intended to sell it. Ms Ansiewicz told The Echo that what the community was fighting to preserve was a facility they can have in perpetuity,

the unity of church and hall which has been going on for a hundred years. ‘They were built in symmetry together,’ she said. ‘It’s our history, it’s an icon.’ It is not only local Federal residents who benefit from the uniqueness offered by the village and its community events. Ms Ansiewicz said that it had long been a drawcard for the wider community, with

Rent relief for some Byron businesses Victoria Cosford

At least twenty businesses in Byron Bay will experience no rental increase for the next twelve months, according to President of Byron’s chamber of commerce, Sevegne Newton. In a recent Byron United newsletter, she confirmed this as well as the fact that two businesses have received a rental decrease.

When approached by The Echo for names, however, she said that everyone who had spoken to her had done so in confidence. ‘As we are facing the most significant downturn in retail in the last twenty five-years, any efforts by landlords and tenants to work together has got to be an extremely positive move,’ she said. ‘I congratulate those landlords who are being

proactive in difficult times. It is however up to the business owner to ensure they do everything to reduce costs and overheads and that includes paying their obligations which are wages, rent and suppliers. This is a huge shakeup for retail… ‘We would encourage any business suffering real difficulties to speak to their accountant or contact their local chamber for help.’

A Sydney Morning Herald report in June cited Reserve Bank of Australia’s Philip Lowe as saying that the downturn in the retail sector has been due not only to higher official interest rates, but also to higher rate rises by major banks on top of the official rate rise. Consumer uncertainty due to the poor world outlook and rising utility prices are two other factors.

Community voices ‘will be heard’ on Bangalow interchange Minister for the North Coast and Ballina MP, Don Page, has announced that a ‘small working group of community members and the RTA’ will produce alternatives to the proposed Bangalow Interchange. It follows a recent public meeting in Bangalow, where the community roundly criticised the RTA’s proposal. ‘The vast majority of community members present at the public meeting on July 6 made it clear that they did not want the Bangalow Interchange,’ Mr Page said. ‘After the meeting, I spoke

with the RTA (General Manager of Pacific Highway, Bob Higgins) and Minister Gay, to develop a solution which eliminates the interchange but meets the RTA’s requirement to have a manageable alternative route on which to divert traffic in the event that the tunnel at St Helena is closed for any reason,’ he said.

Project not delayed He says the alternatives to the interchange will then be put back before the community for their consideration. ‘After that public consulta-

tion we will be in a position to proceed,’ Mr Page said. ‘In the meantime, tenders for the Ewingsdale to Tintenbar project can still be called, but the original Bangalow Interchange will be a variation to the tender. ‘In other words, the overall project won’t be delayed while the alternative to the interchange is worked out.’ Vice-president of the Bangalow Progress Association, Tony Hart, told The Echo, ‘The announcement of a small joint RTA and community working group to consider the alterna-

tives is a very welcome outcome. ‘This joint approach will give all parties the opportunity to consider everyone’s needs and come up with a solution. ‘Bangalow looks forward to working with the RTA on an equal footing,’ he added. Although he acknowledged the help of Don Page, Mr Hart said, ‘This successful result really is due to the persistence and spirit of the Bangalow community as a whole, and to the 1,015 citizens who signed the original petition some 12 months ago.’

Major award for Feros Care – Excellence In Ageing Services Victoria Cosford

Feros Care has just received a major coup with an award from the International Association of Homes and Services (IAHSA). The not-for-profit aged-care association which services seniors living in Northern NSW claimed the 2011 Excellence in Ageing Services Award for the implementation of their Community Care Gateway initiative, a one-stop-shop to Feros Care’s community services. IAHSA represents more than 20,000 ageing-services providers in over 30 countries worldwide and is regarded as

the industry’s peak body. The announcement comes on the eve of the release of the Productivity Commission’s report, Caring For Older Australians, whose aim is to overhaul and provide structural reform to the aged-care system so it can meet the challenges facing it in the future. According to Feros Care’s CEO Jennene Buckley, the Community Care Gateway, with its combination of human and e-resources, is an example of the innovation required toward such an overhaul. ‘The industry is on the cusp of a significant evolution,’ she said. Feros Care was one of the

first organisations in Australia technologies,’ she said. ‘The industry as a whole to offer telehealth technology, following a self-funded trial in needs to be bold enough to 2010. make reform a reality.’ The Gateway serves as the organisational backbone with all information management and administration systems actioned centrally. Through it Feros Care is able to implement smart home technology for use in the homes of senior Australians. Ms Buckley said that the Gateway model is just the start of bringing the aged-care industry into the modern realm. ‘We need other care providers and the federal government to start embracing innovative

Dog meeting raises hackles among proud owners of acknowledging that I rescue dogs, and that this too is an important contribution. When you first re-home a rescue dog you need some space, away from the madding crowd, where you can gradually begin the journey of re-socialisation with people and other dogs in a controlled way. If it is the case that, by my very presence with my dog, albeit within the law, nesting birds are threatened, then we have to change the direction of the dog area and take it north rather than south. A show of hands at the meeting, sensibly requested by Councillor Basil Cameron, revealed dog walkers’ willingness to make this accommodation, provided a reasonable length were maintained (say 1.5km, or 3km up and back). This potential threat to the birds, however, was not established at the meeting as having any scientific basis. The presentation by the Ranger appeared to be about compliance. She was preaching to the converted in this instance. In the course of the

presentation it became clear that the real issue was not compliance, but rather proximity to the National Park. The Ranger made it obvious that, in her opinion, all people and dogs would be better excluded. I thought her attitude to a person asking a genuine question was embarrassing and an apology should have been called for. Life is a continuum and all creatures have a place. Dogs have a special place, though, because of the many and varied roles they perform in support of human beings: We owe these mates for their special service, and it behoves us to cater for their needs. They love to run free and socialise. They adore the beach. Please let them ‘be beside the seaside’!

I went to the meeting on Monday August 1, at which presentations were made by Byron Bird Buddies (BBB) and the National Parks Ranger. Being both a carer of wildlife and a responsible dog owner, I went with an open mind, glad of the opportunity to learn how these roles impinged on each other and, indeed, how to reconcile the two. However, I was extremely disappointed. The BBB presentation was long and repetitive, with no attempt to seek a solution to the problem, beyond that of banning all dogs, who, along with their owners, were seen as public enemy number one. The implication was that if you have a dog and walk it on the beach, you do so with a total disregard for all other species. This is not the case for me or for any of the responsible dog owners, whom I see frequently on the beach. I thank BBB for their dedication and care of the birds that fly such long distances to recuperate and nest in our area. However, I don’t think they pay me the same respect

Anne Hay

North Ocean Shores Q The off-lead area on New Brighton beach is the only offlead area in Ocean Shores, a highly-populated area. In all the years I have lived in the Byron Shire, the only

instances of Council actually taking a facility away from people has been the reduction of off-lead areas at New Brighton, Water Lily Park in Ocean Shores, South Golden Beach and Brunswick Heads. Curiously, they are all concentrated in the north of the Shire. At the same time as taking facilities away from people in the north of the Shire, Council has totally neglected it. None of the councillors who are promoting this reduction of basic community facilities live in the area. They live in Federal, Goonengerry or other parts of the Shire. They are not the ones who will suffer from their promotion of this campaign. They probably don’t actually have any experience of the off-lead area. They are relying on NPWS and BBB, who were caught out at the meeting held by BARCO on Monday night, falsely exaggerating the number of fines. Those councillors have shown their hidden agenda by holding a meeting of the Biodiversity and Sustainabil-

ity Advisory Committee to discuss reducing the off-lead area with stakeholders but expressly prohibiting BARCO and other dog owners attending the meeting. This is contrary to the law and an abuse of their power. Those councillors’ primary responsibility is to the ratepayers of the Shire, not to NPWS and BBB. Neither has, as part of their remit, any obligation or inclination to balance their objectives with the needs of the people who actually live in Ocean Shores and others who visit the off-lead area. The truth is that there are many areas where councils’ off-lead areas border National Parks, such as Ku-Ring-Gai Council’s fenced-off area bordering Lane Cove National Park, Gosford Council’s offlead area bordering a nature reserve at Davistown, and a beach area at Empire Bay, to name but a few. It is acknowledged that the presence of domestic dogs tends to make feral cats and foxes wary and their very

presence will remove many predators in the area. The vast majority of the 35km of beachfront in the Byron Shire is totally dog free and available to nesting birds, wildlife and people who do not wish to walk the beach in the presence of a dog. Surely the dog owners can be allowed to keep the very small area left after the recent series of reductions. Surely their needs and the very substantial benefits to the community of pet ownership can be balanced with the environment. Byron Shire already has one of the lowest support levels for dog ownership in the state. As is demonstrated in many locations in New South Wales, dogs, people, beaches and wildlife are not mutually exclusive. Jill Ball

What especially grates is the sunlight bouncing off the galvanised light towers, particularly in the early morning and late afternoon, when the sun is low and shadows are dark and long.

Byron Bay

Grog town Alarmingly Byron Bay is fast getting a real trash town reputation. The last thing we need as a community, and as the visiting tourist, is another liquor outlet in the town. How can teenagers resist the offer of a $3 bottle of grog? So easy to buy with their fake IDs which are rife in this town. Go to the clubs late at night and see the devastating effects bingeing on grog is having on our teenagers. Most of whom are in the clubs with their false IDs. We know this to be fact as we have nieces and nephews who tell us all. Go to side streets late at night and you are really risking your safety. Is this really what Byron Bay wants? Even the owners of these pubs and clubs will suffer in the long run as the word

gets out that the binge drinking weekends in Byron are out of control. A harsh but accurate comment from Sandra Yates rings true: ‘Our binge drinking teens will be poor white trash in another decade, because while they’re out partying, their more studious, stronger minded counterparts are sailing past them.’ Also we now have strong evidence of brain retardation in a developing brain due to alcohol abuse, not to mention the onset of depression and a downward spiral of low selfesteem and anxiety setting in for the adult years of the binge drinker. As we all know Byron already has a massive problem with underage drinking. So please support Nicqui Yazdi who is doing a remarkable job as leader of BUDDI (Byron Underage Drinking & Drug Initiative) in opposing Dan Murphy’s coming to Byron with their 1,000 square metre grog shop.

Other side of the coin It’s a shame your article last week gave such a lot of space to the issue of a dud NSW Liquor Authority (the Yes Men) without covering the social views that are the guts of the argument.

Another look at George Feros It was with interest that I read Jan Lang’s letter in The Echo of July 12. I would firstly like to acknowledge the outstanding contribution that Jennene Buckley has made to Feros Care. Together with her band of willing staff and volunteers, Jennene has elevated Feros Care to the point where it is now rated a premier provider of aged care. It is indeed true that George initiated the first collecting for an aged care facility. His initial zeal would have been futile without all who have helped along the way. Jan is right when she says Byron Aged Care, which George Feros initially collected for, preceded Feros Care. However, the former

Australian Orthodox Home for the Aged was not built as a hostel, but as a self-care facility. Jan’s memory is partly right in her recollection of the reason for George’s zeal in collecting for ‘The Orthodox’. The member of George’s family who needed care was his brother Jack. The part that is not correct is in regard to Jack’s care outside Byron Bay. Jack was hospitalised at Byron Bay Hospital until his death in 1967, aged 70 years, after he could no longer be cared for at George’s and Edna’s home. It is regrettable that Jan Lang had not read George His Passion, the biography of my father, before commenting that The Australian Orthodox Home for the Aged is not

mentioned in the book. Photo 118 in the photos section in the rear of the book is a photo of the plaque outside The Australian Orthodox Home in Butler Street in Byron Bay. The paper clipping reproductions on the penultimate pages of the book are also referring to the opening of ‘The Orthodox’. The index in the book, on page 283, has nine entries for ‘The Orthodox’, as the home was called when the book was written. Many inconsistencies occur in life along the way. When George’s brother Jack needed care in his aged years, there was no nursing home for him to go into. He was lovingly cared for in Byron District Hospital for many weeks until his death. Some sources say George

collected because there was nowhere for his mother to be cared for in Byron Bay. This inconsistency is reported in some prominent places. George’s mother never left the island of Kythera in Greece. I think it is a shame that we pick up on inconsistencies and miss the big picture. In this case, the big picture is the wonderful aged care that in now available in Byron Bay. As I am giving all the proceeds from the sale of George His Passion to Feros Care, I hope Jan Lang and others will buy a copy of my book and in so doing contribute to Feros Care’s contribution to care for the aged in Byron Bay and elsewhere.

1. You report the LGCA saying it received no submissions. A simple check (with MCAN, for example, whom you report contacting) would have raised an issue very relevant to a front page article. It was sent many submissions. 2. You report them claiming form letters. Clearly some arguments were presented to them. Why didn’t you ask them their views on the social arguments, of which there are

many (not just the proximity to a school)? 3. You report many paragraphs from Woolies’ spinman Simon Berger saying his lawyers acknowledged some letters but you failed to ask which letters or how many. I know of many letters that were not acknowledged but none that was. Berger claims that WWs’ Statement of Impact will have reported the number of submissions. Why didn’t you ask for that number? 4. And why didn’t you ask Berger and LGCA how they addressed (and dismissed) the many social issues raised? That would be news worth reading rather than just their own spin. 5. You quote Berger saying a liquor store next to a supermarket is ‘perfectly acceptable’. When 640 people disagree, why do you print one side of the coin and not even comment on the other?

they’re running out. We can’t have biofuel because it takes up land for food. We can’t use wood because it’s not enviro friendly. We like solar but don’t want to pay for it. And so far as geothermal is concerned, well, eventually it cools down. But we can’t have these last two anyway, because without the others we can’t build them. We don’t want superstores but still want convenience and yet are too lazy to even create a food garden in our own backyard. The reality is that governments are incapable of dealing with the accelerating population growth and corporations just see us as profit units on a computer. So thanks to all the connivers, naysayers, deniers and literate savages, our future will be sitting around in our cave. In the dark with no warmth, no clothes, no transport, no technology, no food, no communication, banging on a rock just to keep ourselves amused. Ah, progress, isn’t it wonderful. Oh wait, there are already people in other countries living that way because for the past 500 years western society has raped and pillaged its way around the world in a senseless

montage of wasteful destruction. Just so we can have cheap clothes and plastic-wrapped food, while polluting everything and endangering every person and species on the planet. Moral: Open your mind, become properly informed and find and implement real solutions, not just bang on about an ill-informed cause celebre. And no, I am not one of those, whatever one of those is.

The mains event On the first of August Vallances Road Waste Water Treatment Plant was officially opened. Will this plant be able to cope with and solve the inlfiltration problems present in the Mullumbimby CBD sewer gravity mains? I have previously stated that the Brunswick Waste Water Steering Committee was supplied with a report in 2006 stating that the main risk to the performance of the Vallances Road Waste Water Plant would be the infiltration occurring in the sewer gravity mains in the CBD of Mullumbimby. The current Director of Water & Recycling stated at a Brunswick Waste Water Steerring Committee meeting in

Stuff we made up, and repairing the result It’s true that change requires understanding the nature of power in the system we live with. I doubt that power is in the hands of politicians however; the immensely wealthy would never allow it. Those with a vested interest in business continuing as usual have the wealth and influence to pull the strings of almost every politician, whether they know it or not. Our democracy is systematically manipulated by the immensely wealthy, a far cry from what we’ve been brought up to believe: government of the people, by the people, for the people. A belief system with no truth to it? Surely that couldn’t happen? Idealising traditional societ-

ies and indigenous people as living in a harmonious state with nature may also be a mistake. Their lower impact may have more to do with smaller numbers rather than living in an environmentally beneficial manner. If that’s the case, expecting indigenous people to have knowledge they may not have is a bit unfair to say the least. We are one species; the apex predator with a cerebral cortex, able to view virtually everything around us as a potential resource and the ingenuity to exploit those resources with ever more efficiency. It wasn’t until the middle of the 20th century that our species realised we couldn’t keep doing this. We can learn from our

earlier actions but we probably don’t have an idyllic past to retreat to even if we could. We may well have the potential for an idyllic future. We have to repair the earth and restore the biodiversity balance as best we can. We know how and we also know it generates prosperity. We are currently stuck with an exploitive economy with its wealth generation based in unsustainable practice. We can use that economic system and, by that use, change the source of wealth generation. Sustainable practice makes better economic sense and that should be a significant edge in this economy. Politics, the economy, indeed all our social operating

2006 that the major cause of infiltration was comming from faulty house connections in the Mullumbimby CBD. The director stated that he based this on a report supplied to him by one of his engineers and that he agreed with his findings. There was a letter sent to Mullumbimby residents telling them that problems had been identified with their house sewer connections by Council’s investigations. The letter stated the resident had a set period to have these faults repaired by a plumber or Council staff

would carry out the repairs and the resident would pay the cost of the repairs to Council. I would think that if what the current Director of Water & Recyling accepted as being the main cause of the Mullumbimby gravity mains infiltration was faulty house connections that once these faults were repaired that the infiltration would stop and the existing sewer pumps would be able to cope with the hydraulic load generated by the Mullumbimby CBD. Why then have a number of

pump stations been upgraded and bigger pumps installed in these sewer pump stations? The manager of Myocum Tip has resigned. The position has been advertised and applications are to be sent to the Director of Water & Recyling. The salary is $100,000 plus and a car. The question I would like to ask is: was any consideration given to incorporating this position with one of the other management positions in Water & Recyling? Alan Dickens

Stressed-out wanted for SCU study People who are experiencing high levels of work stress are invited to participate in a new Southern Cross University study. The study will investigate the effect of a nutritional medicine in the management of stress. It will look at the effect of the supplement on a person’s ability to cope with stressful environments and situations. The study has been funded through a $135,000 National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) grant won by SCU researchers, Professor Stephen Myers, Dr Lyndon Brooks and Adjunct Professor David Leach in collaboration with researchers from the Swinburne University of Technology, Deakin University and the University of Wollongong. Mullumbimby-based stress researcher Dr Joanne Bradbury is the University’s first ever NHMRC-funded postdoctoral researcher and will coordinate the study under the supervision of Professor Stephen Myers, the project’s chief investigator. They will collaborate with Professor Andy Sinclair (Deakin University), Professor Con Stough (Swinburne University of Technology) and Associate Professor Barbara Meyer (University of Wollongong).

‘The awarding of this grant for a clinical trial in our region is an acknowledgment from the peak government health body that stress is as problematic for people living in the country as it is for city dwellers,’ said Dr Bradbury. ‘The study will look at whether nutritional medicines can help deal with stress. This is a worthwhile study as it aims to show that a nutritional supplement may be a valid option when dealing with stress. Our project highlights the real need for science to establish if there are effective natural interven-

tions for stress management. ‘When severe psychological stress is ongoing without reprieve, many people start experiencing symptoms of anxiety. Of course, it is important to address the cause of the stress in the environment and to try to minimise our exposure to stressful situations. However, many occupations are very stressful and a lot of people are dealing with stress on an ongoing basis.

Dietary imbalance ‘We believe that stress is further exacerbated by an underlying dietary imbalance, and that correcting this imbalance could help to reduce the burden of stress that is experienced during times of stress. I think there is a vital role for natural nutritional medicines to offer valid and effective options as a first port of call when people are dealing with stress. ‘Currently, there are not many options for those wishing to minimise the potential harmful impact that chronic stress can wager on the body and mind. For instance, chronic work stress doubles the risk of heart disease and depression.’

Dr Bradbury said she hoped over time to establish a range of effective natural stress remedies which may include complementary medicine interventions, dietary adjustments, herbal and nutritional supplements and exercise and relaxation techniques that were effective in dealing with stress and helping to prevent its related physical and mental health issues. ‘I believe there is a lot we can do to make a positive difference to our mental health but that the first place to look is to our diet, as any intervention may not be as effective if we have ongoing underlying dietary imbalances. It is important to get the foundation solid as a deficiency of many basic nutrients can in itself stress the body. ‘If the body is already stressed, then when you experience a stressful situation at work or anywhere in your life, you might have an exaggerated response. I am hoping that our research can show that stress doesn’t have to be so stressful!’ Dr Bradbury said that modern people were suffering more and more from nutritional deficiencies because

many of the foods that we have evolved with have been altered through industrial manufacturing processes. ‘It is such an irony that the Western diet, as calorie-rich as it is, is becoming increasingly nutrient-poor. Over time, we have processed a lot of the beneficial antioxidants and essential fatty acids out of our food supply.

Health issues ‘These very nutrients are now being shown to be protective in ageing and a range of diseases. Meanwhile, these widespread dietary deficiencies correspond with widespread stress and mental health issues. ‘This type of research is really crucial to our understanding of how to deal with stress and distress and hopefully help to prevent more serious mental health problems.’ Dr Bradbury is seeking 110 participants for the stress and natural medicine project.

The digital wave both enriches and devalues. The internet chews up resources and keeps us staring at screens instead of staring at trees, but it also links us to information and people we might never have known and gives a voice to the voiceless.

There are many things which define a century, and the future reader is often dependent upon the opinions of historians in this regard. Until now at least, when a century is recorded digitally ad infinitum and ad nauseam by news cameras and mobile phones. Those who grew up in the last century, particularly the first half, would regard World Wars I and II as pretty significant. But not the most significant events of that century, apparently, according to folks still alive now. The family history website Genes Reunited recently conducted an online survey of 1,093 adults aged 18 plus and found that the internet ‘topped the list of the most defining events of the past 100 years. This was followed closely by World War Two [sic], World War One [sic] and Man walking on the moon.’ Ah yes, the internet. Now it is really beginning to kick in, with commerce being reshaped, just as steam power re-shaped transport in the 19th century. Old-school traders are beginning to feel the pain as consumers buy online from anywhere on the planet with the press of the checkout button. Research by StollzNow Research for Telstra Business and the Council of Small Business of Australia (COSBOA) showed that the web is worth 41 per cent of turnover for online small businesses.

Not that the internet hadn’t been around a lot longer. It followed out of one of those wars on Genes Reunited’s list.

Now, allegedly, over two billion people, or a third of the world’s population, use the internet (www.internetworldstats.com/ stats.htm). The internet is only part of the story for the Baby Boomers. For example, in 1960, when I was nine and in ‘fourth form’ in a Sydney school, we were still dipping our steel-nibbed pens into our inkwells. Then the ballpoint pen arrived – László József Bíró, who patented the invention in 1938, is immortalised by the use of his name as a generic term for the pen. Girls with pigtails heaved a sigh of relief, as their hair would no longer be dunked in ink.

Comment

Water must remain safe when drilling for coal-seam gas Retired mining contractor Richard Dumbrell explains fracking, and warns of the dangers of an unregulated industry. In The Sydney Morning Herald (June 18–19), Professor Sheik Rahman said that proven drilling technology, together with governmental regulations, currently exist to provide adequate safeguards in preventing contamination of aquifers adjacent to coal-seam gas operations. Aquifers are essentially underground water tables, of which some provide drinking and irrigation. The upstream oil and gas industry has always acknowledged the intrinsic value and long-term importance of aquifers. During forty-two years with Australia’s (then) two major drilling contractors, we adhered strictly to industry practices and regulations. Whether these several hundred wells were abandoned as ‘dry’, or completed as ‘producers’, it was a mandatory procedure – no exceptions – to isolate, protect, and preserve aquifers permanently from possible intrusions. Provided that coal-seam gas operators observe the proven and established drilling and completion technology of the conventional upstream oil and gas industry, then I fully concur with Professor Rahman’s statement. If, however, ‘good oilfield practices’ are not being

fully observed in the drilling and completing of coal-seam gas wells, and if the regulatory authorities – generally the Departments of Mines & Water Resources – are not exercising adequate influence and control over the operations to ensure their adherence, then unwelcome and costly outcomes may occur. Reports from Queensland that methane from coal-seam wells may have entered domestic/agricultural water wells are concerning. If so, perhaps the gas in the wells has resulted from hydraulic fracturing operations and/or poor completion procedures that have allowed gas to flow from the coal seam up the well outside the production casing string.

fractures is initiated. With continuation of fluid pressure, fractures extend in vertical plane (fracture height) and propagate along the horizontal plane (fracture half length). Due to narrow thickness of the coal seams, which vary from two metres to twenty metres, it is very likely that the created fractures extend beyond the roof and floor of the coal seam, thus opening pathways for methane to migrate from the coal seam to adjacent porous and permeable formations – including aquifers. The extent and control of such created pathways will require considerable expertise and probably continuous monitoring.

The fracking process

It is imperative that the established and mandatory practice of protecting aquifers in the drilling of oil and natural gas wells is maintained. This ‘best practice’ standard should apply – if it doesn’t already – to the drilling of coal-seam gas wells. Cost factors to sustain this standard should be included as an essential factor in project budgeting.

Hydraulic fracturing technology was initially developed and utilised in the USA, to enhance flow rates of oil and/ or natural gas from low permeability reservoirs in deep wells. The process entails the pumping of fluid down the well bore under high pressure, initiating fractures in the reservoir that become conduits for the passage of hydrocarbons back into the well bore for ultimate

ing process is widely utilised in the petroleum industry, it is not always successful. It is costly, and a number of parameters need to be considered before proceeding; these include size, dip, azimuth, number of natural fractures and borehole breakouts (if any), the in situ stress conditions and of course, fluid volumes, pressures to be exerted and duration of the procedure. These, together with data from leak-off tests, density logs etc and modelling programs, are also utilised in making final determinations as to the most likely outcome of undertaking a hydraulic fracturing program. The disposal of flowback fluids, including additives, from hydraulic fracture operations in the USA varies from state to state, but currently the empha-

sis is on recycling and/or reuse in other fracturing operations. Where downhole parameters are not always conducive to successful hydraulic fracture procedures, fractures can be created in unfavourable planes (semi-vertical or vertical), initiating passageways for gas to flow into adjacent aquifers. Such events require costly and time-consuming remedial action. Because of its composition and depositional factors, coal is not conducive to being effectively fractured, and as vertical coal-seam gas wells are comparatively shallow, with minimum differential between vertical and horizontal stresses, it is my understanding that when fluid pressure is exerted on the coal seam through the well bore, a pair of coplanar

From 1997 to 2006 he worked closely with Professor Sheik Rahman, School of Petroleum Engineering, University of New South Wales, on an extensive renewable energy project that included likely problems to be overcome in drilling deep, very high-temperature and high-pressure wells.

Local Byron lad stacks motorbike in Asia, paid over 60,000 a year to recover! A mate of mine in Byron went on an overseas holiday a few years back and while out exploring the joys of Asia, he became separated from his motorbike on a gnarly little corner. Not long after the dismount, he became acquainted with a steel guard rail on the side of the road. As a result of the unplanned deviation, he suffered serious injuries and was rushed to hospital. I received an unpleasant phone call from my mate’s father asking me to give him a call. So I make the overseas call to the intensive care unit of the Phuket hospital wondering what to expect. The hospital’s automated phone service was incredible: 7 different language options and a couple of buttons later my mate answers the phone with a little groggy and softly spoken ‘Hello’. The conversation went like this: ‘What happened, are you ok?’ ‘…Yeah, I’m fine, stacked a motorbike I hired. I’m a little busted up, but doctors say I will be sweet.’ The ‘little busted up’, involved a brain haemorrhage, three broken ribs, a punctured lung, broken spine, knee, elbow and shoulder. When he told me the extent of his injuries in his quiet but still positive tone of voice, I got that terrible feeling that seems to start in your throat and then runs down into your stomach and churns whatever is in there. Our conversation went through the whole carnage of the accident etc and how he is going to pull through; that news gave me relief from the stomach condition I was suffering (poor me)! He had great travel insurance that was paying hospital costs and arranging his trip home when he was healthy enough to travel. Great, things were looking positive! He then said he might be off work for a while and asked about his income protection policy I set up for him years before and whether it was still current. I told him not to worry, I’ll look into it. That’s when the stomach churning started again! In the back of my mind I was remembering that some www.echo.net.au

What would you do if you were injured and couldn’t work? Have you considered taking out income protection insurance? six months before, the same mate rings me and says he was thinking about cancelling his insurance; he knew the cost was tax deductible and generally a good idea to have it but he was just not sure he needed it. He said he didn’t need it then… but he knows he needs it now! I had faint recollections of telling him at that time to give it some serious thought before cancelling his policy without trying to sound like a dodgy insurance salesman with only self-interest (my worst fear) but I could not remember if he actually stopped the policy. So I end the phone call and start another with the insurance company I had written his policy with, nervously waiting to see if it was still current. Turns out it was. Not only that, the amount he was insured for had grown annually with inflation and was now at over 60,000 per year. I ring my mate back and let him know that after his policy waiting period (30 days) he will have 5,000 paid into his account a month, every month while he can’t work and if he takes a few years to recover, the 5,000 increases every year with inflation. My mate’s tone was soft and positive as I said, but I could tell the relief that news had given him, made him relax and breathe that little bit more easily. Needless to say, his recovery which is still ongoing was/is financially stress free! When clients tell me they

can’t afford income insurance, I tell them they can’t afford not to have it. But if you really can’t afford it, you can use your superannuation to pay the premiums for you. Call 6687 6566 to help you relax and breathe easy! Simon Jones – Financial Adviser

FX fees killing you softly? Leaving on a jetplane? The States, UK or Europe within your reach with our strong Aussie dollar? Tickets, passport, insurance and accommodation? Check! Now to spending money. The foreign currency equation is confusing, isn’t it? What’s with the TV rate being different to the bank? How much and when should you change? ‘I’m just going to take my cards’ or ‘I’ll just get it at the airport’ are the wrong answers. Convenience WILL cost. Bank cards may seem easy, but when you step off this ‘big island’ up to four lots of fees can apply to every transaction while away. Daily rate fluctuation you have no idea of (why SHOULD you, you’re on holidays after all), cross-currency conversion fees, ATM fees, overseas transaction charges, international cash advance fees and *gasp, interest

and no free period if you ever NEED an advance on your credit card at 20+. Aussies can come home to hundreds in fees on their statements; I have seen it, and very few understand why. You didn’t read the PDS/FSG/ Condtions of Use brochure? Who does?! But it’s there, in the fine print. So Global Travel Cards have arrived for security and convenience without the fear of credit card fraud. But WAIT! All GTCs are not created equal. Are there load, reload or unload fees? Flat fee or percentage (10 vs 80 if you are loading AU8000)? Does the card expire? If used outside the country of the currency loaded, what is the crosscurrency fee? Are there added benefits like travel, medical and legal assistance? A charge for replacement cards or providing emergency funds if your card is lost or stolen? Is there an inactivity fee? Can you use EFTPOS free of charge? Can you use it online? Asking before you buckle-up can save you money, time and headaches knowing that your money is being spent BY you and ON you. Isn’t that why you’re going on holiday? Kylie Ryan-Milroy Director Atlas Currency E xc h a n g e / B y ro n Fo re i g n Exchange AMEX Global Travel Card Agent Phone: 1300 261 090 AFSL: 342627

There’s a mining boom, but don’t bury your head in the sand Some business owners think their employees should be grateful to have a job, but over the next eighteen months local businesses can expect to see labour market conditions turning substantially in favour of candidates. Although there isn’t a big

<echowebsection=Business and Finance>

yellow truck full of dirt in our neighbourhood, we shouldn’t dismiss the local effects of the mining boom. At the recent Gold Coast Regional Development Australia forum, a Rio Tinto economist estimated that investment in mining capital equipment would increase from 24 to 87 billion in just one year. The boom is just starting. The impact is coming. The impact became clearer to me this week when a local landscaper told me he got offered a job in the mines. One of his clients recruits staff for a mining company which needs landscapers for rehabilitation work after areas are finished with. Before you pack up for your new fly-in, fly-out lifestyle, remember that these jobs are in hot places a long way from the beach. People work long hard shifts around the clock. But the pull of big money in mining is a strong one and should not be underestimated. I’ve heard stories of sparkies pulling 180K a year. And it’s not just specialist jobs. Miners require feeding, accommodation and other services on site that will be provided by people skilled and unskilled. In fact, the largest area of jobs growth supporting mining efforts will be in unskilled jobs. M o s t b u s i n e s s e s h av e contingencies for major supply changes, but have you considered the impact of not being able to find or retain staff? It’s essential to ensure a planned approach to future and ongoing staffing requirements – whatever the size or line of business you are in. Don’t wait until getting good staff becomes a crisis. ON-Q Human Resources is a premium provider of specialised employment solutions operating to benefit the local community. By partnering with us early we can help you establish reliable staffing solutions for now and the future. When people are important to your bottom line, the first choice of the best candidates will give you the edge over the competition. There’s a crisis coming. Act now before it’s too late.

his Solar Powered Mosquito Zapper Lantern is a decorative device to help keep your evenings outdoors free from annoying flying pests such as mosquitoes. The lantern uses solar power to provide the energy to power both the attracting light and the insect zapper, helping to dispose of any nuisance flying pests in an eco-friendly way. The lantern can be hung up anywhere, and is suitable to be taken out camping to be hung from a post or tree. It comes with a stand to allow you to place it easily on a table or other smooth surface, just in case you are lacking a suitable item to hang it from. The lantern has an inbuilt solar panel located at the top of the device. This needs to be placed in a bright spot during the daylight hours to ensure that the internal rechargeable batteries will charge sufficiently. The lantern turns itself on automatically when dusk falls, getting to work straight away to attract the pests and kill them quickly. It contains a UV insect-attracting light which draws the flying pests towards it, into the electric core of the device which kills them instantly. The lantern is a great way to keep your outdoor areas pest free without the need for any chemicals. By using solar power the device also frees you from concerns over energy bills, or the need for a constant stream of batteries. It also frees you to be able to take the device with you wherever it is needed, helping to keep you free from insect bites as long as there is daylight to charge it by. – Anita at www.envirogadget.com

TO CELEBRATE HIS SELF- AND FAN-FUNDED RELEASE OF YELLOW MEANS INFECTION, JEFREY SILER PLAYS THE BYRON BREWERY ON SATURDAY. HIS DEBUT HAS QUITE A STORY BEHIND IT: HE CLEANED THE GUTTERS OF A STUDIO OWNER’S HOME TO BE ABLE TO RECORD FOR ONE DAY; HE SOLD HIS ONLY ELECTRIC GUITAR TO BUY A MICROPHONE TO RECORD THE REST AT HOME. HE EVEN RAISED $3500 THROUGH A CROWD FUNDING CAMPAIGN TO PAY TO PRESS THE RECORD

or dip, and then finishes strong – and that’s just how it went down. To be honest, knowing that probably didn’t help, but I’d made up my mind it was gonna work and so instead of getting discouraged I decided to get creative!

camp’ you could put yourself through – what with having to get the word out, remind folks in a tactful way and then hopefully try to move them to act. I was told that the campaigns kind of work on the whole ‘bell curve’ concept where it starts out strong, goes through a lull

How did you feel about the results; with more money or more time what would you have done differently? It’s funny, I can’t say that I would have done much differently. Most of this album was done at home so I wasn’t rushed. I doubt more money would have really

What makes you so driven with your music? You know I can’t really say, but I know I tend to register things in a musical sense. In effect I’m always asking, ‘What’s the poetry behind what’s happening?’ And when my tiny mind became aware that it felt natural to work in that way, it wanted to be there all the time. So the driven part must come from reasoning with myself that if I truly want that free time to think and write, then I need to do the hard yards that will eventually allow for that time.

Where did you come up with the idea to run a fan funding campaign? Necessity is the Jefrey, you call your style Art*A*Billy. What mother of invention! I was (and am) broke but really felt I was onto something with this batch do you mean by that exactly? Growing up of songs. My cousin’s band in Atlanta had in North Carolina I was really used to hearing raised $850 and that gave me hope. They are a story-based songs and had always loved the five-piece and so between them all they could chugga-chugga of rock-a-billy. But what I reach out to a lot more family and friends just found came most naturally to me is writing by sheer numbers. For the most part it was songs with my obtuse sense of humour to really up to me and, needing $3500, I had my explain sentimental subjects. The ‘arty’ side is work cut out for me. So I gathered a mailing that, both sonically and lyrically; I try to make it adventurous and kind of fun. The ‘billy’ side is list and did a little reading about how to reach people; I didn’t wanna fly blind. my being aware of why and how classic song What did you set out to achieve when you structure is so lasting and effective. My aim is try to write songs in my voice which, as it turns recorded Yellow Means Infection ? I wanted to make the perfect record to put on while out, often means telling a different side of a you wash the dishes, no lie! Something that familiar story, much like work of folks such as lightens your load, gives ya a chuckle and Randy Newman, Jonathan Richman and Tom T Hall. Relatable art to the subconscious mind! maybe even some pause for thought. One of (There’s a sentence that’s both pretentious and the best compliments I’ve been given recently is when a friend heard it and said, ‘it’s just unpretentious at the same time! Ahahaha!) like you, but put to music’. What more can You went to extraordinary measures you ask? It’s not my place to be everything to record. Was there any point that you to everyone, I’m just trying to be myself and thought it wasn’t going to happen? Yeah, hopefully create honest, relatable art. That’s it was such a rollercoaster! With fan funding I why every time I sell just one CD it still means learned you can choose how long you want something to me. Aside from a coupla bucks the campaign to go for and so I set mine for two months. During that time it can’t help but that’ll inevitably go toward overpriced petrol, I’ve met someone who gets where I’m coming always be on your mind just a little because, from and more than likely can turn me onto like it or not, you have to promote it or it’s to something that’ll let me know where I’m dead in the water. For independent bands I going. I like that community mindset. think it’s probably the best ‘promotion boot

E N T E R T A I N M E N T made a difference, but more energy is a different story! Often I’d find a little time after spending the day on roofs cleaning gutters. By and large how much recording I got done daily depended on a) how blazing the sun was or b) how strong the coffee was. What did the recording process teach you? It taught me that it’s all right to leave in some mistakes – maybe not the glaring ones, but the ones that give people a unique glimpse into the person who actually made the record. Ironically those little things can endear you to someone listening. I like to put

the time into the structure and story of the song, that’s where I’m a about yourself, but all the promotion stuff is ‘Human Behaviour 101’! perfectionist. And adding little funny things in the crevices of songs Tell us what to expect for your Byron Show? Stories and songs is cool ’cause it rewards a close listen. and the stories behind the songs. I couldn’t be happier that the last show of the tour is in Byron; what a place to wind down after the How will you do it next time? Will there be a next time? Inevitably there’ll be a next time but right now I’m just relaxing and chaos. I’ll be playing a lot of new songs as well and that outdoor writing new songs which feels great. The whole ‘making this album’ stage at the Byron Bay Brewery is the perfect setting because folks are just kicking back, taking it all in, enjoying the evening.

EDGE OF THE WEDGIE

According to Wikipedia, a wedgie occurs when a person’s underwear or other garments are wedged between the buttocks. Today I have had a constant wedgie. It became obvious while walking from my car to the tent where I was performing at the Writers’ Festival. I was aware as I trotted over the lawn that those walking behind me were treated to the sight of a curvaceous blonde woman in a too-tight frock attempting to dislodge her underpants from her crack, while at the same time attempting to maintain a nice middle-class dignity. Today’s wedgie was asymmetrical, meaning my knickers didn’t travel up my butt evenly, only the left side. This left me with two possible scenarios: either the elastic in the left leg of my Berleis had lost its grip or my left arse cheek has grown disproportionately in comparison to the right. The mirror in the toilet at the Writers’ Festival was not big enough to ascertain which option I was looking at and when I used the reflective glass of the tea house I was asked to leave. It’s hard to relax when you’ve got a wedgie. It’s all you can think about. I have never understood how women voluntarily wear g-strings. That’s an underpant designed purely on the principle of a constant wedgie. When it comes to one’s smalls, I am an oldfashioned girl. I expect my underwear to contain my butt cheeks, not be consumed by them. Not all wedgies are naturally occurring. Who could forget the favourite schoolyard prank, when a person on the receiving end of a wedgie has their undies yanked up their bum by their jolly associates. It’s a simple act that achieves both humiliation and affection in one simple yank. We Aussies love it so much it could be an Olympic event. Although men should be warned. Wedgies can be dangerous. A badly performed wedgie can cause testicular or scrotal damage. Back in 2004 a particularly nasty schoolyard wedgie left a 10-yearold boy requiring the re-attachment of a testicle to the scrotum. Wedgies should never be performed by amateurs. It’s all in the flick of the wrist. Performing a wedgie requires an understanding of the elasticity of the waistband, the possible resistance of the gusset and the pliability of the victim’s cheeks. You should never perform a wedgie on anyone wearing a colostomy bag or a sanitary pad. Wedgies are more often performed on blokes by blokes. Very rarely do women greet each other by using underwear as dental floss. But I kind of wish they did. It would put a whole new twist on hanging with the girls at a ladies’ luncheon. There are also variants on the wedgie, with more sinister and painful results. The Melvin is a variant where the victim’s underwear is pulled up from the front, to cause injury, or at least severe pain, to the victim’s genitals. There is a female variant called the Minerva. This can sometimes cause underwearinduced labioplasty or a lacy clitoridectomy. A more frightening wedgie variant is the Atomic Wedgie. This is where the waistband of the receiver’s underwear is hoisted over the wearer’s head. This sometimes results in the obstruction of the small intestine, but the results are sensational. If you can manage to perform an atomic wedgie on one of your friends, be prepared for some pretty toxic fallout. No-one is ever prepared for that moment in the day when the back of your underpants touches your face. A rather cruel twist to the wedgie is the Hanging Wedgie, where the victim is hung from their underwear, elevated above the ground. This does require pretty impressive undie architecture and should not be performed on police who pull you over for a roadside breath test, your in-laws or your boss. Wedgies should only be used in the appropriate situation. Wedgies are for bonding or bullying, that’s it. Instead of fighting our battles with guns and bombs, why not have a war with wedgies? Gallipoli would have played out a whole lot differently if the Aussies could have rushed out of those trenches and given the Turks a few wedgies. History would have been rewritten if Göring had managed to sneak up behind Adolf and perform an atomic wedgie. It’s hard to be a brutal psychopathic dictator with your underpants over your head. Just imagine if the Americans had found Osama but instead of killing him, they’d shamed him with a hanging wedgie instead? I’m all for it. In my household we’re all going Straight Wedge.

Ladies and gentlemen, step aside and make way for the good ole days. Yes, the 60s and 70s are alive and well with the 42nd anniversary of the original Woodstock Festival with awardwinning cover band Late For Woodstock. These relics of rock’s greatest era originally formed in 1998 and were voted Most Popular Live Band at the 2001 Entertainer of the Year Awards. The four-piece rock outfit live, eat and breathe the 60s and 70s, while their renditions of rock’s greatest classics are remarkably similar to the originals.To celebrate the 42nd anniversary of the original Woodstock Festival in 1969, Late for Woodstock will play the very best of CCR, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Stones, Neil Young, Santana, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, The Doobie Brothers and many more. Late For Woodstock cover the entire spectrum without skipping a beat. The band members, who all grew up in the 60s and ‘turned on’ in the 70s, include Bourbon Street lead singer Col Meredith, Paul Martin on guitar, Grant Byrne on bass, and drummer Tony Bell. The unyielding demand for authentic classic rock keeps these reckless lads on the road. Seems those 60s and 70s just won’t leave ’em alone. Take a trip back in time to those good old days when we were loosier and juicier! Lennox Pub on Friday.

MINA MINA ART GALLERY

GEOFF WILLIAMS HAS RECENTLY returned home after completing a massive mural for the Sydney Harbour Authority. Geoff was commissioned to paint four murals under the Cahill Expressway at The Rocks, covering an area of approximately 140 square metres. Three of the murals are based on historic black and white photographs of the area and the fourth depicts a painting by a Spanish artist, Fernando Bramilla, in 1793 that was apparently a ‘spy’ picture for the King of Spain. The murals were painted using a posterised technique in black and white and three shades of grey. They were first hand drawn, scaled up using a 500mm grid and took nine weeks to complete. Geoff was born and raised in Brisbane in an ‘unremarkable, working class family. I discovered a talent for drawing when I was in kindergarten but Queensland, in those days, did not encourage artistic pursuits. While serving in the RAAF in Melbourne, as a reluctant radio technician, I studied Advertising Art at RMIT night school and embarked on a career as a commercial artist both in Australia and overseas.’ It was while living and working in Frankfurt, Germany in the early seventies as a Senior Art Director for an advertising agency that Geoff was initially inspired to take up painting fulltime after visiting an international photo-realist exhibition in Darmstadt. ‘I quit my job and moved to Zurich to concentrate on painting. After five years in Europe I was beginning to be accepted into the Zurich Arts community, but several

factors enticed my Swiss wife and me to return to Australia and live on the North Coast.’ Since moving to the North Coast in 1978 Geoff has tackled a variety of disciplines including easel painting, illustration, graphic design and murals. He has also won several art awards, some twice like the Tweed Festival Prize and the Southern Cross Art Prize. ‘I also worked for The Echo many years ago and designed the original masthead. Since 1990 I have been involved in murals, dioramas and trompe l’oeil with projects in Australia, Singapore, China and Ukraine. With all this experience behind him, Geoff decided to study Fine Art at Southern Cross University in 1997 ‘during the halcyon days of Post-Modernism.’ The work of Geoff Williams is on show regularly at Barebones Art Space in Bangalow.

SUSAN WEAVER Abstract landscapes with luminous colour and shape is what distinguishes the artwork of Susan Weaver. Weaver is an established artist from Newcastle who has shown in various contemporary and regional galleries throughout Australia. Weaver’s inspiration is drawn from nature and geographic form. Her work is compositionally derived from infused colour, layers, shape and symbolism. She recreates these geographic scenes from memory producing an unusual and abstract representation. Weaver’s depiction of these scenes can sometimes have a feeling of ambiguity about them, as layers are translucent with compelling colours. It is the use of symbolic colours and unique compositional structure that captivates the viewer, giving her work a distinctive aura.

Beaver

The premise sounds a bit too bizarre – that a person might allow his identity to be subsumed by a hand puppet is not what you’d expect of an adult drama. But somehow it works. Walter Black (Mel Gibson), CEO at a toy company, married father of two sons and with the world at his feet, has lost his way. Jaded, disconsolate and, most injurious of all, alienated from an apparently perfect life, he is not starving to death, homeless in Somalia, but his plight (a uniquely Western malaise?) is real nonetheless. After failing in a drunken attempt at hanging

Walter and his furry avatar, although a kinky shot of the beaver lying in bed between them, gasping for breath after the couple have made love, is very funny. Writer Kyle Killen need not have created the peripheral traumas surrounding Walter’s two boys – they tend to be distracting and, in the case of teenaged Porter and his girlfriend, over-simplify the question of coping with oneself. The movie also deals with mental health – has Walter toppled over the edge into what might broadly be termed ‘insanity’? It’s not hard to see him as the angst-ridden Everyman who creates a rod for his own back via the agency of what he took to be his safety valve. I was unprepared for the shocking climax and left wondering was Walter, if happier, any the wiser at the end. But life’s like that. ~ John Campbell

himself, Walter finds the puppet, a beaver, in a rubbish skip and begins channeling a suppressed alter ego (sounding like Michael Caine) through it. Making no pretence of being a ventriloquist, Walter and the beaver become inseparable. Gibson is not everyone’s cup of tea, but in this he is brilliant – watching Walter interviewed on TV, speaking through the beaver, explaining that he has been undone by ‘the bloodsucking rabble’, looks uncomfortably close to the bone. Jodie Foster is his wife Meredith, but as director/actress she is inclined to inhibit what is essentially a one-hander (pardon the pun) between

Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes A little confession to begin with – I’m a huge fan of the 1968 movie that inspired this prequel (why did it take so long in coming?), and I couldn’t wait to see the new one. What a relief that it produces the goods. By setting the story in the recognisable future (a manned mission to Mars – Charlton Heston’s – has just been launched), it pulls off the essential two-card trick of establishing a sense of historicity while at the same time posing the eerie question of what might be just around the bend for our species. Much as I loved the original, there was no way in the world that Roddy McDowell looked like anything other than a bloke in a hairy circus costume, but the advent of CGI has afforded director Rupert Wyatt access to a creature that is almost one

hundred per cent convincing. Caesar the chimpanzee, captured in the African jungle, has been transported to a laboratory in the US where drugs that might counter Alzheimer’s are being tested. Will (James Franco), one of the scientists, takes him home and they become best mates, then an injury to Caesar leads Will to the surgery of vet Caroline (Freida Pinto) – and with due respect to the numerous vets I’ve visited over the years, she is uncommonly gorgeous (Pinto and Franco make the prettiest pair). Taken away from Will, Caesar is exposed to a new keeper’s brutality (Tom Felton, aka Draco Malfoy, destined forever to be a bad guy) while, in his simian, intellectually enhanced way he asks that universal question of himself – ‘who am I?’ (who was it who said ‘the one essential required for happiness is insensibility’?). The climactic rampage, when there are suddenly scores more apes than what we began with, goes too long, but the movie is faithful to the spirit of its precursor, even though the epilogue’s chilling exposition of the demise of homo sapiens is not in agreement with the apocalypse that was suggested to Heston (that image of the Statue of Liberty remains a classic). This a ripper. ~ John Campbell

Mungo’s Crossword first published in The Week.

E ARIES: Aries Joseph Follow your bliss Campbell’s directive to ‘participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world’ is like the Irish saying that you can’t stop trouble knocking but you needn’t invite it in for a drink. In other words, engage in this week’s reversals with a light heart.

K L IBRA: You may have to stand your ground this week against dominating power pushes. Negotiate as best you can to defuse explosive situations, but if it’s all just in the too-hard basket then head for home and play with creative ways of stretching the pay cheque.

F TAURUS: Economics of happiness seem increasingly out of reach? Your cohabs, compats and cohorts bickering and quibbling? Tauran composer Bob Telson wrote: All Wars Are Lost. So don’t engage – it’s vital for your joie de vivre to choose less stress and more enjoyment this week.

L SCORPIO: This week rude moods could go viral, so strengthen your creative vision by looking for the brighter threads in life’s tapestry. And buff up your love muscles by finding the love in every situation, and make ‘make love not war’ your mantra no matter what’s happening.

G GEMINI: With your planetary ruler retrograde don’t even think M SAGITTARIUS: Behind-the-scenes shenanigans don’t require any about showdowns, risk taking or shortcuts, especially travelling. input from you this week, just your awareness that they’re there. Don’t rush anywhere; forget driving if you’re upset. Sure you’re as But do double check new intel before presenting or acting on busy as, but the trick is to simultaneously slow down and chill out it, because during the present transit information can often be – and who multitasks better than Geminis? inaccurate or misleading. H CANCER: The secret to dealing with this week’s competitive N CAPRICORN: Your patience and people skills get a workout this energy is first making it easy for others to help you and being week, staying objective in situations which make objectivity extremely appreciative when they do. And second, following difficult – one of which could be giving others advice and Cancerian Ann Landers’s advice: Make someone happy today. Mind watching them ignore it. Midweek Capricorn moon is a specially your own business… sensitive time not to take things personally. I L EO: Mercury backtracking in your sign sometimes clouds your judgment then sends you ballistic if that judgment’s challenged, which could be costly in terms of damage control and postdramatic stress. If you’re losing your cool, channel Leo Matt Preston and your inner regal, dignified leader.

O AQUARIUS: Aquarians like stirring – unnecessary at present with the universe doing it for you. This week you’re dealing with other people’s fluctuating feelings: hissy fits, dummy spits, histrionics, forgotten promises. By all means help those experiencing emotional meltdown, but know when to walk away.

J VIRGO: This week delivers more questions than answers, putting you more in the mystery than the know, which is usually when doing nothing’s the smartest move and silence the wisest response. Hardest of all is not acting on assumptions, especially the one that you know what’s going on.

P P ISCES: Money flows in, then out again even faster. There’re sexual sparks, but they fizzle rather than flare. Wishful thinking meets brutal reality checks. So what’s good about this week? It has fabulous potential once you decide to maintain your focus on gratitude instead of dissatisfaction.

The premier event at Canberra’s annual chess festival was dominated by Zhao, who won his first five games and then coasted to victory with two draws. Zhao’s main challenge came from defending ANU Open Champion Andras Toth, who had beaten the top-seeded Grandmaster in 2010. A tense round 5 encounter, which saw Zhao unveiling some secret

Going for broke. 23.Bxd4 Rxd4 24.Nf6+ Bxf6 25.gxf6 would allow Black to hang on after 25...Qc6! 26.Qg4 Qg2+!. 23...Kf8 24.Bxd4 Rxd4 25.Rh3? Now Broekhuyse is hit with a massive counterattack. After 25.Nxf7!! gxh5 26.Qxh5 Black would have had to find the unlikely defence 26...Ke8!! to survive (and prosper). Given Zhao’s time trouble, defeat was just as likely as victory. 25...c4! 26.Bxg6 Bc5! 27.Re3 A sad necessity, but now the White attack is over and Zhao can vacuum up all the sacrificed pieces. 27...fxg6 28.f5!? exf5 29.Nxf5 gxf5 30.Rxf5+ Kg7 31.e6 Re4 32.Qh5 Bxe3+ 33.Kf1 Rf4+ 34.Ke1 Bf2+ 35.Kf1 Bd4+ 36.Ke1 Rxf5 37.Qh6+ Kg8 38.Qg6+ Bg7 39.Qxf5 Rf8 0-1

Television Guide 1. As the stockmarket curls up in a foetal position in a corner, Wall Street (One HD, Friday, 8.30pm) gets another airing, with Michael Douglas excellent as a total ruthless bastard. 2. Long before there was a black American president, Katherine Haughton and Sidney Poitier starred in Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner (ABC2, Saturday, 10.05pm), a fine menu of racial prejudice. 3. Even after Arnie, the Terminator franchise lives on with Terminator Salvation (NBN, Sunday, 8.30pm). Aussie Sam Worthington plays a cyborg. Hey, it’s a gig, and work is hard to get.

A dreadlocked nomad Victoria Cosford

Like most people whose mandatory monthly magazine is Gourmet Traveller or Cuisine, I have my own mental list of Great Restaurants To Dine In Before I Die. It rarely changes from year to year – and no, El Bulli has never been on it, nor has Noma, allegedly the world’s greatest. Hovering around the top is the River Cafe in London. As famous for its seasonal Italian menus and its fabulously expensive simplicity is the fact it has spawned a number of high-profile chefs like Jamie Oliver, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Tobie Puttock. It’s on the bank of the Thames in an old oil-storage facility and earned a Michelin star in 1997. It would be hard to find a chef who would not love to include a stint there on his or her résumé. Enter Robert Costanzo, 26-year-old dreadlocked boy with a Sicilian background, originally hailing from Queensland’s Stanthorpe. We first met at the apple stall he and sister Michelle were running at the Mullum Farmers Market: he sliced off a cheek of apple for me and my taste buds sang as the tart sweetness flooded my mouth. Weeks and weeks later we are sitting in the garden of a cafe so he can tell me what it was like to work in one of my dream restaurants. Amazing and brilliant are words that keep popping up. Robert too had long had the River Cafe on his list. He wound up in London with a cousin at the tail-end of a backpacking trip that had started in Rome; moved down to the ancestral home in Sicily where he cooked in a Taormina restaurant for six months (he had completed his apprenticeship in Brisbane after finishing school); and wintered through Malta, Scandinavia, Ireland and France. He was cleaning houses in London but promised himself two restaurant experiences while he was there, which included lunch at the River Cafe. He loved every single aspect of it – its casual layout, its atmosphere; the menu changed twice every day; the absolute emphasis on integrity of ingredients. Freshness and seasonality, in short. He spoke to the floor manager about the possibility of working there gratis for a few days – but it wasn’t until he had done another summer stint in Sicily before the opportunity presented itself. The few days turned into two and a half years. He tells me that one of the joys lay in the beautiful ingredients – often flown over from Italy – they had to work with, the seasons being the driving force that determined what they all cooked. There was no division between kitchen and floor staff; everyone helped everyone else out and it was all like one big family. The only reason he left was because, a country-town boy, he missed the outdoors. (‘London is amazing, but it eats you up,’ he tells me.) And now what he is doing is cooking his gorgeous food at the New Brighton and Mullum Farmers Markets together with Michelle, herself an excellent cook, at a stall whose name will probably be the Nomadic Kitchen. Robert has a passion for markets and street food and so you might find cauliflower fritters or ribollita or cannoli or apple tatin at the stall. I suggest you skip breakfast at home and seek out the dreadlocked nomad.

The Bruns Brasserie’s newest addition is crispy crust pizzas. Daily selections include fresh grilled snapper, juicy steaks and bangers and mash. Gourmet coffees, Devonshire teas, freshly squeezed juices and delicious desserts are also available.

Louis ready to be the champ of champs And so it begins… Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Louis Clark, from Byron Bay, has been playing tennis since he was five and recently competed in the Medibank Junior Development Series for the NSW Northeast Region, where he became the top point scorer for the Under-12 Boys. As a result, Louis was invited to attend the Champion of Champions Qualifying Tennis Tournament at Coffs Harbour on July 20. This tournament included children from Tweed Heads down to Port Macquarie. Louis said this was different from past events at Coffs. ‘I had played at the Coffs courts before but this time they had just laid a new surface and the surface was very sandy. Conditions on the day were also very windy which made the bounce of the ball difficult’. The 12-year-old who attends St Finbarr’s Primary School overcame the obstacles as he came out on top in the Under -12 Boys Division.

‘I felt excited after winning,’ says Louis. ‘Most of the boys I played in the tournament I have played against before. Some players were hard competition, but the next level will be a lot harder’. Louis is now looking forward to competing in the next qualifying event which will be held in Inverell in August. This tournament will include children from country NSW. Louis was the Under-10 Champion of Champions for Country Northern NSW as a ten-year-old and is hoping to repeat his success this year. Children selected from this event qualify to play in the NSW State Championships held in Gosford. Louis, who is coached by Stephen Gort of Byron Bay and Ryan Kebblewhite of Pottsville, has been competing since he was eight and hopes to make a career out of his sport. ‘I hope that one day I will be on the Pro Tour of tennis. I would like to play like Novak Djokovic!’

Byron a definite but Bangalow a maybe for union semis Bangalow schools Shiners in penultimate derby Jock Craigie & Dean Travaskis

Bangalow’s season is now out of their hands after gaining a bonus point victory over the Mullumbimby Moonshiners at Bangalow last Saturday. In front of a healthy home crowd on ladies’ and sponsors’ day, Bangalow won convincingly 33-0. With the wind in the first half, the home side was clinical early, scoring off continual pressure with tries to second rower James Coventry and fly-half Ben Alcock. The Shiners fought back with strong defence and a spoiling game that disrupted any momentum. Late in the half after some great lead-up work from the forwards Ben Alcock went over again with the line open. At the break coach Simon Balcon gave a first-class spray aimed at those needing to quickly recover from a late night on the booze, which hit the nail on the head. Against the wind in the second half and with the Shiners starting to show the spirit they are known for, Bangalow played with purpose, controlling possession and dictating terms. This gave them tries through front rower Chris Davies from an excellent driving maul of a line out and a great late try that started from the twenty two meter line to outside centre Dick Collins. Best for Bangalow was Captain Richard Kelly with some damaging runs, fly-half Ben Alcock for his two tries and sniping runs and Brett Starky for his work rate.

Mullum supporters turned out in great numbers, and brought plenty of passion but were not able to match the overt confidence or methodical structure of their opponents. Some individual performances shone through with agile prop Wally Andrews imposing himself with skill and aggression, Teale Pyne leading the backs with some barnstorming runs and winger Simon Hutton tackling well above his weight and as ever elusive with ball in hand. For the highlights package it was a Lachlan Stubbs tackle that sent a Bangalow second rower ten metres backwards à la Raggedy

Brian Mollet

The pitiless gaze of the sporting world fixed on Lomath Oval in Mullumbimby on Sunday as the opening blows were struck in the Nick Shand Memorial cricket series for 2011. Played in honour of a man who spent much of his life bringing together his local community, it encourages lively competition between teams from all over the Shire without all the tedious chest-banging and the need to hate your opponent that often characterises Saturday sport. Last year’s champs the Left Bankers, resplendent in their matching T-shirts, were looking for a big performance to honour Ed ‘The Witch Doctor’ Reid who passed recently and Sharky, who notched up a half century in years on the day. The Byron Full-Tossers had the job of bringing down the goliaths of the local game and looked keener than a trawler load of Afghanis to settle in. Scruff won the toss and invited the Tossers to field with the Oval sunbathed and shaved to a stubble, like George Michael’s chin. Snakebite and Russ faced the opening overs from Tim and Wade who drilled away at the off stump like a petrochemical company seeking coal-seam gas. Tim twanged a hammie chasing a ball early on, the first of many soft-tissue injuries on the day, much to the delight of the contingent of physiotherapists and Kahuna healers that always gather touting for clients at Shand fixtures. Ash took the first wicket and soon Neil and duced after 25 minutes and scored with his first touch after a great counter run from fullback Sean Reilly. Loane promptly converted from the sideline to cap his return from a two-month absence. Kyogle responded like a good team and broke through some unusually soft defence to level 7–7 on the stroke of halftime. In a tense second half Byron led 10–7 before conceding another try to trail 12–0. Byron halfback Mick ‘Wombat’ Leece burrowed over to regain the lead after Logan Meville had made a series of threatening runs but the Bay didn’t deal with the final kickoff and gave away a free kick from the ensuing scrum, allowing Kyogle to eventually score wide out. Byron’s coach Warren Fisher offered no excuse. ‘I think if we had won today it would have papered over a few cracks,’ he said. ‘We were soft, simple as that. Where Kyogle had a team of players getting stuck in we had too many chefs and not enough dishpigs. We need to sort a few things on Tuesday’. Byron will defend the Ashes

Eddie added to the tally. The Bankers middle was looking as exposed as Barbra Eden’s navel. Russ’s innings was like Warnies love life: He kept the scorers busy whilst going through a few partners. His were the initial ripples that were to build to a Tsunamilike momentum. Scruff tagged his first ball for six and retired earlier than a female gymnast. Sharky smelled blood and chomped away at the bowling. Eli and the resuming Russ (64NO) landed blow after blow; it was like watching the end of a cage fight, but with marginally less blood. With 220 to chase down you could have forgiven the Byron lads for just going through the motions, especially after Snakebite slipped one past Jan’s guard early on to have the Bankers hooting. Neil and Eddie kept the team in with a show but the innings was slowly going flaccid for the Tossers. That was until Tim, Richie (42) and Troy started clubbing into the bowling like Canadian fur producers with a big quota to fill.Not even Brian’s sports psychologist would talk to him after an over of his much -vaunted offies went for 20. Wickets fell to Sharky, Bruce and the Snake but the Tossers only required 14 off the final two overs when Eli bagged the last scalp, Neil finally falling for 42. Byron fell short but showed plenty in the game, which was more full of highlights than Lady Ga-Ga’s eyeshadow. Anticipation levels are approaching the pain threshold for this week’s stoush between the Geckos and the Suffolk Swingers. Trophy at home to Mullumbimby this Saturday at 2.30pm. The team will then prepare for a home semifinal against Kyogle in two weeks.

Brunswick Valley Juniors Nicholas Bird

The Brunswick Valley Juniors travelled to Lismore on Friday but failed to bring home a win for their mammoth effort. The under 15s went down after showing a lot of improvement last week but travelled light on numbers and paid the penalty. Best: Eden Burke, Mac Dennis, Jaden Graham. The under 13s put in a much improved effort after last week’s debacle and had the lion’s share of field position and possession. However Lismore made the best of limited opportunities to run out 17–0 winners. Best: Patrick Smith, Jake McRea, Kane Guyler. This Friday we travel to Yamba.

Season ends in bruising loss for tenacious Giants possession, Mullum finally got on the board. Arikinui Mana, a real goer in the centres, raced fifty metres before half Matt Mulcahy chipped for winger James Chester to score in the corner. Enter the whistleblower again, to the home side’s detriment. Tom McQueen was injured badly enough in a tackle to be escorted from the field, but was penalised for slowing down the play-the-ball. For objecting that his mate was injured and incapable of moving, Simon Baines was binned. It was a diabolical miscarriage of justice – thrones have been toppled for less – but, to their credit, the Giants did not turn it up. In such circumstances, Mul-

The Mullumbimby Giants didn’t have a lot to play for at Les Donnelly Field on Sunday. The NRRRL season that started so promisingly for them back in April had turned into a train wreck in the last month and, with a team of old hands, juniors and players backing up from reserve grade, they might have approached their clash with the comp’s front-runners, Murwillumbah, like lambs to the slaughter. Instead, they had a dig and if the final score of 44–12 against them suggests a rout then nothing could be further from the truth. Though outclassed and overpowered (the other mob were huge), the Giants worked hard for each other and their loyal supporters – were it not for two Draconian sin-binnings, which meant that they played a quarter of the game with twelve men, they might have got closer to the minor premiers. The Mustangs made a dream start, scoring in their first set from a clinically executed cross-field bomb, and soon after found themselves with

an unnatural advantage when Adam ‘No-Knees’ McKenzie was binned for giving lip to the ref – at only the five-minute mark, it was the earliest such punishment that this correspondent has ever seen. Mur’bah were playing like title contenders – they’re not flash, nor do they possess blis-

tering speed, but they are thorough and unfazed by dilemma. In no time they’d jumped to 18–0 and might have been further ahead if Luke Covell had his kicking boots on. In fairness to the former NRL player though, Mullumbimby’s partisans are the last lot you’d want to be lining up a goal in front

Junior Maggies end season in style Stuart Amos

Sunday’s game was full of anticipation as the two strongest teams in the U9 competition were going to meet and play the last game of the year. The U9s are non-competitive, so they don’t go into finals mode like their older counterparts, but as the little Maggies have only lost one game so far, one imagines that these guys had a strong chance on winning the trophy if there was one. The Tweed Tigers started the first quarter with a very strong centre which kept the ball frolicking around their goal square

for nearly the entire quarter. Our little Maggies came out in the second quarter to kick a quick couple of goals to break free and keep that lead throughout the rest of the game. It’s been a fantastic season to watch the entire U9 competition and all eyes will be on the up-and-coming U11 sides that will be boosted by these little guys next year. Well done to all the coaches and team managers for their Under 9 Maggies player Keshava gave a Tweed Tiger’s junior a knowledge and commitment. moment to reflect during Sundays game.

Junior Giants There were some great results for the Mullumbimby Junior Giants this weekend. The under 7s scored great team tries in their game against Cudgen, but with only six players the under 9s had to pull together and work hard in their game against Byron. This was the best game of the season for everyone with some hard runs, great defence and a few tries. The under 10s came away with a 24 to 6 win over Tweed Coast. Davo Rutter received man of the match for running hard and straight. He was wellsupported by Heath, Dylan, and Jed who tackled hard and scored three tries. The under 11s played a topof-the-table team in a game that any fan would have appreciated. First quarter August 6

The boys played great in both attack and defence with every player contributing 100 per cent. The boys just missed out on the win by a try going down 22–18. The under 12s had a bye this week while the under 13s had to forfeit due to lack of players. The under 14s had a 54–0 win over an understrength Tugun team. Three tries to Swanny saw him receive man of the match. Darcy kicked seven from seven including three from the sideline. With eight players missing the under 16s put up a courageous performance against comp leaders Bilambil and although beaten 48–20 the score does not reflect the huge effort the boys put in. 20:03

lum needed more than fifty per cent of the ball to stay in range. They got even less than that, and the Mustangs were not about to drop a gear. But they asserted their authority the hard way, meeting stubborn resistance from the Blueand-Gold – Bill Pike from the Under 18s, a David confronted by a pack of towering Goliaths, typified the effort of the beaten but unbowed home side. Fittingly, it was Mullum who drew the curtain on their disrupted season when captain Tim Abbott ran into a gap and got a classy try at the death. Baines’s conversion was also heartily received by the great unwashed in the bleachers. Onya Giants. Better luck next year.

Crazy Coots looking for love in Byron Shire Right now, Coots are looking for love in Byron Shire. The Australian Coot, a common water bird, breeds during winter and spring. These red-eyed, white-beaked, black birds with Frankenstein-looking feet may appear a little odd, but Backyard Buddies wants you to love your Coots. ‘Coots are highly territorial during winter and spring when they are breeding,’ said Susanna Bradshaw, Acting CEO of the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife. ‘They swim menacingly towards any intruders and can fight like champion boxers with other birds, but they are harmless to humans. ‘Coots are fascinating to watch, particularly when they run along the surface of the water as they take off. ‘Mating displays are also impressive. ‘When a Coot wants to attract a breeding partner, it chases its desired Coot, calls

and strikes the water with its wings. ‘Once a pair of Coots agree they like each other, they nibble each other’s feathers affectionately and make greeting postures towards each other. ‘Coots are breeding now and may raise more than one clutch of eggs in the next few months, provided they have a healthy environment and plenty of food. Sadly, many water birds and marine animals are feeling the pressure as rubbish, chemicals and garden runoff enter our waterways. But there’s a lot that people in Byron Shire can do to help keep waterways clean.’ Simple tips to create healthi- out into waterways where they website to find out how to diser waterways for Coots include: harm Australia’s wildlife. pose of unwanted garden and t 1JDL VQ SVCCJTI XIFO ZPV t $IFDL ZPVS MPDBM DPVODJM household chemicals and oils. go for a walk, never put rubbish in an overflowing bin, and cover your bin so litter doesn’t blow free. t 4UVC PVU DJHBSFUUF CVUUT completely and bin them.

Plants protect from climate impacts Native vegetation must be restored to protect Australia’s unique ecosystems from the impacts of climate change, according to scientists from the Australian National University. A review published last week in the international, peer reviewed journal Climatic Change, found that large-scale restoration of native vegetation was the most frequently recommended action in the scientific literature to counter climate change effects on biodiversity. Lead author, Dr Don Driscoll from the Fenner School of Environment and Society at the ANU, said protection of biodiversity needed to be included in any government policy on climate change.

Revegetation

from our review is that there are many policy and management actions that can be taken now that would result in a rapid reduction in the threats of climate change to biodiversity,’ he said. ‘These are mainly actions that avoid further impacts such as stopping the introduction of new invasive species and preventing further habitat loss. â€˜National efforts must include engagement in international negotiations on climate change conventions, trade and conservation conventions.’

However, MFAA chief executive Phil Naylor has urged home loan borrowers to seek credit advice from mortgage brokers as the public is bombarded with marketing by mortgage lenders. Mr Naylor said that the MFAA Home Finance Index for May showed that 30.9 per cent of the respondents had refinanced their mortgages in the Property In Focus p59 previous 12 months, however, only 52.9 per cent could claim to have benefitted from the refinancing. ‘Simply refinancing doesn’t always achieve the desired goal,’ said Mr Naylor. ‘And switching for a better rate may not be as important as the terms of the loan. A mortgage is an important Business Directory p51 financial commitment which warrants a professional opinion. ‘With a ban on exit fees, the mortgage holder is seen as a potential switcher by the lenders. And that means borrowers are being swamped by extensive promotional advertising.’ Mr Naylor said that many Auctions & people may not know if they Inspections p59 were switching to a better deal

than the one they were currently in. He said MFAA Approved Brokers were trained to know which were the most appropriate deals for their clients, and they were bound by a code of conduct and licensed to facilitate credit. ‘Mortgage brokers have panels of lenders they can use and their job is to find the most appropriate deal for the circumstances of the borrower,’ said Mr Naylor. ‘If you are receiving marketing material encouraging you to switch your loan, at the very least you should show it to a mortgage broker for a second opinion.’

Meanwhile, banks say they routinely offer discounts on home loan rates. The Australian Bankers’ Association (ABA) said recently borrowers seeking a home loan from banks are routinely offered discounts on standard variable rate mortgages. The ABA was responding to an announcement from Choice regarding home loan switching. Steven MĂźnchenberg, Chief Executive of the ABA, said, ‘The Choice gimmick is fine, but bank customers would be better off talking directly with their bank if they’re not satisfied with their current mortgage.

‘People already have a lot of negotiating power in the competitive home-lending marketplace, especially now, when demand for credit is low. ‘While banks quote a standard variable rate, invariably borrowers are routinely offered discounts, which can shave up to one per cent off the interest rate, saving thousands of dollars over the full term of the loan.’ The ABA is concerned that a one-size-fits-all mortgage may not suit all borrowers who sign

up for this service. There are many considerations customers should take into account when choosing a mortgage. These may include: t 8IBU BSF UIF GFBUVSFT of the mortgage; for example, does it allow more frequent repayments or early repayment? t 4IPVME UIF DIPJDF CF B ĕ YFE or variable interest rate or a combination of the two? t *T JU CFUUFS UP PQU GPS BO PČ TFU account so that the borrower

can access funds held in the account at anytime but also reduce the amount of interest paid on the loan? t %PFT UIF NPSUHBHF BMMPX ZPV to borrow against any equity which you have in the property? Mr MĂźnchenberg said, ‘The ABA advises customers to seek independent financial advice before agreeing to any offer. Everyone’s circumstances are different and what may initially appear to be a good offer may not turn out to be so in the long run if your situation has not been taken into account.’
